Weighed my bow!!!

[geoffk]

I have wound my bow up recently to get used to a heavier weight, before using the new lovely 36lb winnex limbs.
I think I over did it a bit, as my 32lb carbon challengers at my 30 inch draw were showing 43lb on the bow scales... and I was worried that I wouldnt be pulling enough!

To be honest, I am slightly struggling with 43lb, and I have wound the challengers off to 40lb, much better, so im going to try and dial the W+Ws into 40lb also.

Did much better last night

I had similar with my 36lb limbs at a 29.5 inch draw. Realised I was pulling 45.5lb. Was sceptical in Targetcraft but the guy at Eclipse archery tested them when I bought arrows there and lo and behold! 45.5lb. I'd hate to think what my new limbs take me up to!

I have 70" 36lbs Win & Win Innos (preferred the crispness over the Hoyt 900) and was amazed to see they measured 43.3lbs at 29.5" draw.

Yet they still feel lighter to pull than the KAP T-REX 26lbs I used to draw.

I people ever told me I would go from marked 26lb to 36lb I would have said they were mad and then to find it easier and then be drawing over 40lbs!

I bought some second hand Winacts, 38# but found to my surprise I had 42.5# on my fingers. Must be getting a muscle, never had one before!

so long as your draw force curves are nice and even and do not over stack towards the end of the draw i can't see a problem

I can second that actually. I'm still using 28lb KAP T-Rex's and the other day I tried drawing my mate's 38lb WinEX's. A full 10lb heavier on the fingers but they felt so much lighter to draw. Will almost definitely have to invest in a set of the W&Ws shortly.
